Christmas Eve, 11: 30 pm.
Feng Bujue logged into Thriller Paradise in sleeping mode.
After he logged in, he looked at his friend list and realized that other than himself, only An Yueqin was online.
Seeing that the other party was not in game, Feng Bujue immediately sent a communication request.
"Huh? You're online early. "Two seconds later, An Yueqin's voice came from the communication channel." Have you finished the draft? "
"Hey, hey … why are you bringing this up?" Even though they were not talking face to face, Brother Jue instinctively narrowed his eyes and replied, "I haven't delayed the draft for months, have I?"
"Okay, okay, I won't rush you." An Yueqin replied with a smile. Then, she continued, "But … seriously, you shouldn't be online so early today, right?"
"Why shouldn't I be?" Feng Bujue asked in return.
"You and Ruo Yu … don't you have anything going on?" An Yueqin asked suspiciously. "Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling have already told each other that they won't be online today."
"Oh … you're asking about that." Brother Jue said, "I do have something going on …" For some reason, he sounded annoyed. "This afternoon, I went out for lunch with her. In the afternoon, she drove me to a few sales offices to check out the market …"
"Huh?" An Yueqin was stunned. "You two … chose December 24th to look at properties?"
"What's wrong with this day?" Feng Bujue said, "It's not a national holiday … Furthermore, even if it is a national holiday, the sales offices usually don't close."
"Ha … Haha …" An Yueqin laughed dryly. "Okay … After all, I'm a normal person. The way you two interact … is not something a normal person like me can understand."
"Then … normal people, do you want to queue together?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Just the two of us?" An Yueqin replied. "Where's Ruo Yu?"
"She's sleeping in my room right now." When Feng Bujue answered this question, he showed obvious displeasure. "And I … I'm lying in the only gaming cabin in my house."
"Why do I feel like there are a lot of things in your answer …" An Yueqin also heard some subtle information from his words.
"To put it simply, she wanted to be with her parents, so she spent the night in my room tonight," Feng Bujue said. "Anyway, her family is relieved that she's with me."
"Although I don't know if I should say this …" An Yueqin seemed to have thought of something and reminded him. "But I still have to ask. On such a special day, with such a rare opportunity … is it really okay for you to come online to play games?" She paused. "Don't you want to try knocking on the door or something?"
"Ah …" Feng Bujue replied in a state of hopelessness. "Obviously … what you're saying now, and what you haven't said yet … I've tried everything that you can think of, as well as the methods that you can't think of."
"In the end, it all ended in failure?" An Yueqin could guess the answer from Zhang Heng's attitude.
"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, this conversation between you and me wouldn't even exist …" Feng Bujue replied hoarsely.
"Hahahaha …" Unexpectedly, after a second, An Yueqin burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Brother Bujue asked.
"I'm taking pleasure in your misfortune." The words An Yueqin … were used appropriately. It perfectly summed up her mood at the moment.
"Sigh …" Feng Bujue covered it up with a sigh. He quickly suppressed a few sarcastic remarks and turned on his mocking mode. "I know, you're just using a smile to cover up your miserable situation because you also logged into the game early on such a day …" He paused for half a second and recited, "There's a saying that asks a gentleman how many worries he has, just like a single dog."
"Yes, yes, I'm a single dog." An Yueqin dragged her voice as she replied, "But, I don't have anything to worry about. I logged in early this morning because I have an appointment with someone else to play the Treasure Hunt scenario. So, you can play alone tonight. I won't be joining you."
"Huh? Who are you queuing with? Bring me along, "Feng Bujue said.
"I'm sorry." An Yueqin rejected him decisively. "I'm queuing with the girls from Hong Ying Team One. Including me, there are six of us. There's no place for you."
"Hey, hey … When did you hook up with Hong Ying's people? And you've started calling each other sisters? " Feng Bujue asked curiously. "Are you planning to quit your current job and join them as a professional player?"
"I'm just queuing with them. Why would you think that?" An Yueqin said. "Don't you often queue up with professional players yourself? I don't see you joining any gaming studio. " At this point, she obviously paused. "Oh, I'll hang up. The news just came. Bye."
After saying goodbye to Brother Jue in a hurry, An Yueqin ended the call.
Feng Bujue stood before the touch screen for a few seconds and then … shrugged. "Fine, then I'll queue alone."
Actually, he did not mind queuing alone. However, he would not be able to enjoy the benefits of being in a team with his guild members.
"Feng Bujue, Level 51
"Please select the game mode that you wish to join."
Because he was not in a good mood, Brother Jue did not deal with his mail or go to the Thriller Box to check the items.
He planned to do a Treasure Hunt Mode scenario to warm up and change his mood.
"You have selected Treasure Hunt Mode. Please confirm.
"Confirmed. The team size has been randomized. Three people.
"You have joined the queue. Searching for other players or teams that are ready.
"Matching complete. Coordinating nerve connection. Generating scenario …
"Downloading. Please wait a moment."
The basic setting of this Treasure Hunt Mode was similar to Normal Difficulty Team Survival Mode. Therefore, when Brother Jue joined the queue alone, he would have at least one teammate and at most five teammates.
Seeing this … everyone should have vaguely thought of a problem. In this mode, teaming up with strangers is likely to lead to some conflict of interest.
Normally, in Team Survival Mode, this kind of conflict was not that prominent, but in the context of a Christmas Treasure Hunt, the players would naturally become more utilitarian. It was not impossible for there to be conflict during the sharing of the loot and even sabotage each other during the course of the scenario.
Of course, it was easy to solve this problem. All they had to do was gather six people and start a game … Most game studios did this.
This meant that almost all professional players would join a six-man team to clear a Treasure Hunt Mode scenario.
To put it bluntly, Brother Jue's teammates would not be from a gaming studio.
